Mental Changes

[Guest April]

The day I started estrogen is the day the noise in my head finally stopped.

A female brain doesn't work well running on T period!

Estrogen is the correct operating system for a female brain.

I could not have said it better, that is exactly the way it was for me with the added boost of for the first time in my life feeling more complete

than I ever had before. Notice I said more and not totally. Before I was always a negative person, but it seems now that has changed. I see

hope and chance in things I was once so negative about. My wife loves the fact that everything dose not make me mad anymore!!!!!!! On a

personal note HRT has helped me so so much mentally, so I pray it is also kind in other areas. Only time will tell !!!!!!!!

Lots of love, April

Call the mod police my topic has been hijacked... oh wait the mod police hijacked it

OOOPS - sorry Paula - that was me!

I did talk with my therapist. We think HRT changes the brain chemistry. I now want what women want, security and love. That means associating with a man for protection. That is more a mental change than a sexual preference, I think.

Mental changes

so much calmer and feel like there is finally a connection between my brain and my body - they don't match yet but they are laying down tracks

I don't get so much aggressive as I do protective of people I care about and I am more confident to stand up and defend myself

The Testosterone definitely increases libido so it can go down for physical and mental - mental because you spend so much time thinking about it or thinking about how to not think about it

Physical changes - 7 months

more body hair - legs, arms, stomach, back, chest - face can catch up any day now

some facial hair - lots of peach fuzz - starting to get darker

acne - boo

more muscle mass - soon I'll have guns (large biceps not a glock)

changes in fat distribution

increase in appetitie

deepening of voice

jaw is squaring up

skin is getting rougher

I found that since I been on Estrogen my depression has gotten worse. I feel really sad almost suicidal like I don't belong anywhere a freak.

Some girls do feel that the depression deepens at first, but if it is that bad you need to discuss this with a professional, you need to get past this and into feeling good.

Love ya,

Lots of changes physically...no doubt!

But the mental changes are surprising me!

Darcy and I used to be driving down the interstate and see a large simi flatbed carrying 2 new large combines (We live in farm country)

I would look at them and say..."OH, look! He's got two Massey Ferguson R927's with triple corn huskers and extending axles!"

Yesterday we saw the same thing and I said..."Lookie! A red tractor and a blue tractor!"

Oh, have I showed you my new shoes?
